Answer 2

The correct answer is E) all of the above.

The red Zia on New Mexico's flag represents all of the above.

The flag of the state of New Mexico is an elegant design full of symbolism. The red Zia represents the Sun, shining in the four cardinal points. New Mexico's Native American Indians honored the Sun as the giver of life. The color red and yellow represents the Spanish heritage. Number four is important symbolism in the flag also because it represents the four periods of a day, the four seasons of the year, the four seasons of life, and the four obligations of humans.
